Trade Schools in Cranston, RI

Cranston Adult Education lists 83 Rolfe Square as its address. Its CNA and medical assistant pages describe different attendance plans, so ask which classroom and practice sites you will use. A shared school address does not mean the two courses meet at the same hours.

The separate nail course includes classroom preparation and clinic practice. Choose the subject first, then ask for the current calendar and time you must spend on campus.

The Cranston CNA page, checked October 27, 2026, lists tuition and books at $850. It also names required supplies, including scrubs, a blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope. Ask for a written total that includes the assessment charge and any testing expenses before you set your budget.

The medical assistant page lists tuition and books at $1,550 and says scholarships are available for its courses. Call the adult education office at 401-270-8166 to ask about eligibility and remaining costs. Get the scholarship decision before comparing payment amounts, and check which supplies you must buy yourself.
